Divination and Guidance

Was I nervous when I first gave divination readings to strangers?

Yes. When I first read for people I did not know at all, I was so nervous that my legs kept shaking. Previously, most were relatives, friends or people referred by friends. They knew something about who I was, which gave me more confidence. With unfamiliar clients, knowing that I needed to help resolve their questions and that they had paid made me more concerned about doing well and increased the pressure.

However, on one occasion, once I actually laid out the Chinese chess reading and began interpreting it, the shaking gradually stopped. I thought that I should simply explain carefully what the pieces showed and what I understood. Clients also told me whether they felt the reading was accurate and which matters had come to pass, allowing me to learn from their feedback.

So I was not fearless about everything from the moment I became a teacher. I could be very nervous beforehand, and my feelings could change once I actually began. In those early years, I built experience in this way: meeting clients repeatedly, listening to feedback and learning from it.
